Keeping the Electoral College is not smart for the united states voting system. First, many citizens all over the country don't agree with the voting system.

In my opinion, the Facial Action Coding System is only telling what the faces are expressing not how the person is feeling. A person can be making one face but, can be feeling different. This technology couldn't be valuable to students in a classroom. The author states that Dr. Huang predicts, " A classroom computer co...

Cars- most people use them for transportation. It's our lazy way of getting to places.

I support driverless cars to an extent. Driverless cars seem like they could help out a lot, but as paragraph nine states, "If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault---the driver or the manufacturer?"

The President of the United States is currently determined by an electoral college. The electoral college process involves the public voting for their elector and not the main focus, the candidates.
